Front End Files

December 9, 2014

Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.

We had a fellow named Parthiv write in to tell us about a little app he created that uses Bower to pull all the required front end resources together for certain packages. Then it gives you links to download an HTML file with those resources linked up and ready to use, or even better, a link to create a new Pen with those resources included.

Perhaps you wanted to play around with AngularJS and the ngCookies module. That requires two resources: angular.js and angular-cookies.js. With Frontend files, you search for or enter the package name, and it'll go fetch the things and give you the links you need.
